Babysitter...

Dh and I are going out tonight (to a 10:00 movie) and dd is staying with my sil.. We won't be far away but I'm a lil nervous about leaving her :( I don't think I would worry so much if dd was formula fed but she's ebf so I hope she does ok. I used to have no problem getting her in bed by 830-9 but lately she's been not wanting to sleep, I put her in the crib and she stands up on the rail, or she refuses to nurse until she's so tired she falls asleep nursing around 10 or 1030, I'm hoping I can get her in bed b4 we leave but I have a feeling she's not going to make it easy on me (her 2nd tooth still hasn't cut thru). I have some milk I pumped from august that I'm bringing, I hope it's not too old if she needs it. Dh and I really need this night as we haven't been out together since August and dd stayed with my sister and screamed her head off :(( I don't think she'll do that at sil bc she'll have her cousin who she adores and is around them all the time.... I wish I could just not worry about her and enjoy the night but I feel guilty :((

Enjoy it!! Even if she cries with your SIL... She will be fine. I babysat all the time when I was in high school and had lots of crying babies, but bc I wasn't around it much it really didn't bother me much. She will be fine!! Happy, relaxed mommy & daddy = happy, relaxed baby!! Let us know how it goes!!

Thanks y'all she did great! (I did too lol) we went to see the new Twilight movie Breaking Dawn pt 2 (Awesome btw). We even went out for some drinks afterward. Sil said Kaydee fell asleep around 10, woke up around 3 hungry and wouldn't take the bottle. I went to pick her up around 5am this morning. I can't believe I was brave enough to let loose and not worry about her overnight, it was a great feeling knowing that she was safe and being able to just have a fun night out just the two of us. Today is the anniversary of one of DH's best friend's death 9 years so we toasted a couple drinks in his memory last night. Sil was over joyed to have her over night, no complaints from her, she said Kaydee cried a little at 3 when she woke but even tho she wouldn't take the milk, she was able to get her back to sleep. I nursed her as soon as I got to sil's this morning And Kaydee was in a great mood when we got home. All in all it was a great night/morning :))

Yay! So glad to hear you had a good time and she did well! I'm not brave enough to leave Ryleigh over night lol my mil was asking me yesterday when she could have a sleepover but I don't think I'd sleep! She's so set in her routine that I'd be nervous as heck!!! DH has tried "doing my job" at night in the past and let's just say its a position only mommy can fill :-/ You're lucky lol

I was pretty nervous about it beforehand, right after we dropped her off as we were pulling out of sil's driveway I started doubting my decision but dh reassured me, and I found out how much I really trust my sil with my daughter. Dh & his sister have always been really close, they have such an amazing connection with each other that is so strong it took me years to understand it, but I really see what a special person she is and idk when we were out I just had no doubt in my mind that Kaydee was in good hands. When I picked her up, sil was sitting in the living room holding her, comforting her and I swear when I walked in the house I could feel so much love radiating and I've been in such a great mood all morning. Kaydee finished nursing when we got home and she's been knocked out ever since. I think she had a great time and I feel really proud and confident that my daughter is growing a special bond with her aunt similar to the bond I have with sil's daughter. It's truly an amazing feeling :) <3
